My first best friend was a 6 string

Took him with me everywhere I go

When I was 18, bought a Dodge van

Found a drummer and made the road my home

Ohh I wouldn't change a thing

It made the man I am today

My roots always keep me grounded

Roots remind me where I'm from

Even when I'm a thousand miles away from my

Roots I'm home

Every Friday you could find me

At Dixie Tavern playing with my band

We'd start the show with a round of whiskey

And play our hearts out and wished it'd never end

Ohh I wouldn't change a thing

It made the man I am today

My roots always keep me grounded

Roots remind me where I'm from

Even when I'm a thousand miles away from my

Roots I'm home

We'd get 'em singing "Don't Stop Believing"

Then follow up with a cold beer on a Friday night

Always dreaming one day we'd play with

All our heroes we cover every night

Flying high all our dreams came true

You've given me wings

And roots always keep me grounded

Roots remind me where I'm from

Even when I'm a thousand miles away from my

Roots I'm home

My roots always keep me grounded

Roots remind me where I'm from

My roots even when I'm a thousand miles away from my

Roots I'm home

Don't give up

Hold on a little longer

What don't kill you

Only makes you stronger

[x4]

Don't give up

Hold on a little longer

What don't kill you

Only gives you stronger roots
